A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928463B2) outlines a method and system for automating business workflows across applications. The method involves displaying an integration flow in a design tool, mapping trigger fields to action fields using a trained algorithm and semantic dictionary, and representing the field mapping graphically. Additionally, the system includes a memory and processor to execute these functions, along with translating the field mapping into a script and suggesting formulas for trigger fields.

Furthermore, the patent details the capability of the trained algorithm to determine recommended actions based on a neural network trained on various use cases, including user modifications or discard indicators. The system allows for editing scripts associated with the field mapping, applying those edits, and updating the graphical representation accordingly. The non-transitory computer-readable device also follows a similar process, displaying, mapping, and representing field connections, with the added functionality of translating mappings into scripts and accommodating edits to enhance workflow automation efficiency.
